With everyone (awake) agreeing with their course of action, Brent pointed over to a rather large modern looking multistory building just down the road from them bearing a Red Pokeball Symbol above the entrance. [color=f7941d]"Well, we don't have far to go, that's the Pokemon Center right there."[/color] He said, starting forward as he waved the group on. As they headed towards the center, Lily responded to Devon's comment. [color=39b54a]"Well, yeah, Goldenrod is one thing, but this place... Goldenrod has huge buildings, yeah, but look at those..."[/color] She said, pointing to the towering Skyscrapers of Vertigo.

As they headed on inside the building through the automatic doors, the Pokemon Center was already lightly crowded with trainers. Some Lily kind of recognized from the terminal at the Airport in New Amber, yet others seemed completely unknown to her. As they made their way through the crowd, Brent stopped for a moment at the front desk. [color=f7941d]"Excuse me, Nurse Joy? Which way is the cafeteria?"[/color] He asked. [color=f49ac2]"It's just down that hallway, the first set of doors on your right. It's all you can eat, free of charge for trainers, and we also have seats outside if you'd like."[/color] She replied.

[color=39b54a]"Wow, that's cool!"[/color] Lily said happily, Brent nodding. [color=f7941d]"Yeah, the Pokemon Centers here in Viore are like that. Thanks, Nurse Joy."[/color] Brent said as the group moved towards the cafeteria as directed by the Nurse.

Just as Gladion was beginning to talk about the dangers of overtraining, a loud crash was heard in the background. Luna to see one of the pieces of makeshift equipment had broken, and Hound had gone tumbling, hitting the ground hard. Flake, on the other hand, reacted swiftly to the change, jumping clear of the broken course and landing on all four feet almost gracefully on the ground before dashing over to Hound.

[color=bc8dbf]"Oh no, Hound!"[/color] Luna yelled as she too rushed over to her fallen partner, Sola and Torrent not long after. [color=ec008c]<Hound! Are you okay?!>[/color] Sola asked in a panicked state. [color=a36209]<Ow, ow, ow! It hurts, it really hurts...>[/color] Hound whimpered as he held up his right front paw. Luna, seeing this, carefully examined the paw, touching it lightly as Hound winced at the light prod. [color=bc8dbf]"It might be bad..."[/color] She said, picking him up, careful not to touch the injured paw. [color=bc8dbf]"I'm gonna get him inside to Nurse Joy!"[/color] She said, quickly dashing towards the main building as her Pokemon, unsure of what to do in the situation, remained where they were in shock.

Meanwhile, Bryce and his Pokemon watched the scene unfold from above. [color=0076a3]"That did not look good at all..."[/color] Bryce said, shaking his head. [color=f7941d]<He landed hard on that leg... really hard...>[/color] Maya said, looking over to Striker. [color=fff200]<Mhm... at least it happened right here at the Pokemon Center, and not somewhere out in the wilderness. It could have been much worse.>[/color] He replied.

The lone Pokemon on the ground now conversed about what just happened. [color=00aeef]<Poor Hound... I hope he's going to be okay...>[/color] Torrent said solemnly. [color=ec008c]<I'm just glad you didn't get hurt too, Flake. You were neck and neck with him.>[/color] Sola said, Flake now suddenly feeling almost responsible. [b]<If I had gone first, I could have recovered easier than Hound... If only I was faster... stronger...>[/b] She said, looking down to the ground quietly.
